standard focus with interaction is not working
by Khaled Hosny 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

\setupinteraction[focus=standard] has no effect, I get the usual "fit page" mode instead. Works fine with MkII. Example: \setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard] \starttext \goto{Knuth}[knuth] \page \input knuth \textreference[knuth]{} \stoptext A side note, I'm just wondering why "standard" isn't the default mode, "fit page" is very annoying and distracts me while reading and I wonder why anyone would need that in regular documents?

Possible Bug(s) in bibl-ams.tex (mkii)
by Xan 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hi, 1) First of all, I want to say that \setuppublicationlayout[incollection]{% \insertartauthors{}{}{\insertthekey{}{, }{}}% \insertarttitle{, \bgroup }{\egroup}{}% \inserttitle {, in % \bgroup\it}% {\egroup \inserteditors{, edited by }% {}% {} \insertseries {\insertvolume{, number }{~in }{ }}% {}% {}% \insertchap{\unskip, }{ }{ }% \insertpubyear{(% \insertpublisher{}%{, }%{}% }{)\insertEdition{, }{ ed. }{}}{}% \insertpages{\unskip, p.~}{. }{\unskip. }% }% {In \insertcrossref{}{}{}% \insertchap{\unskip, }{ }{ }% \insertpages{\unskip, p.~}{. }{\unskip. }% }% \insertNote{ }{.}{}% } must be: \setuppublicationlayout[incollection]{% \insertartauthors{}{}{\insertthekey{}{, }{}}% \insertarttitle{, \bgroup }{\egroup}{}% \inserttitle {, in % \bgroup\it}% {\egroup \inserteditors{, edited by }% {}% {} \insertseries {\insertvolume{\unskip, number }{~in }{ }}% {}% {}% \insertchap{\unskip, }{ }{ }% \insertpubyear{(% \insertpublisher{}%{, }%{}% }{)\insertEdition{, }{ ed. }{}}{}% \insertpages{\unskip, p.~}{. }{\unskip. }% }% {In \insertcrossref{}{}{}% \insertchap{\unskip, }{ }{ }% \insertpages{\unskip, p.~}{. }{\unskip. }% }% \insertNote{ }{.}{}% } with \unskip before number (in /usr/share/texmf/context/bib/bibl-ams.tex) . Else a white space between coma and precedent text is putting. I used ConTeXt ver 2007.09.28 MKII but I think this error is in more actual versions. 2) For the other hand, if we want to that publisher is inserted, we have to put uncomment lines in publisher: \insertpublisher{}{, }{}% With this change, context puts me the year of publication. Mysteriously with the original, ConTeXt puts me the publisher (is this correct Taco???). For example, in @incollection{millerIIIa2, author = "Charles F. {{Miller III}}", title = "Decision problems for groups: survey and reflections", booktitle = "Algorithms and Classification in Combinatorial Group Theory", year = "1992", publisher = "Springer-Verlag", address = "Berlin", editor = "Gilbert Baumslag and Charles F. {{Miller III}}", pages = "1-59", series = "MSRI Publications", volume = 23 } I get (in the past) C.F M;iller III, Decision problems for groups: survey and reflections, in {\em Algorithms and Classification in Combinatorial Group Theory}, edited by G. Baumslag and C. F. Miller III, number 23 in MSRI Publications (Springer-Verlag, Berlin), p. 1-59. Now I get, C.F M;iller III, Decision problems for groups: survey and reflections, in {\em Algorithms and Classification in Combinatorial Group Theory}, edited by G. Baumslag and C. F. Miller III, number 23 in MSRI Publications (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1992), p. 1-59. For the other hand, in @article, for example in @article{stillwell, title = "The Word Problem and the isomorphism problem for groups", author = "John Stillwell", journal = "Bulletin (New Series) of the American Mathematical Society", volume = 6, number = 1, year = 1982, month = "Jan" } I think it could be a dot after number, but I can't put manually: if we have pages after, we have dot and comma. Actually, I think we need if clause, but I don't know how get it. Taco, you surely do it better ;-). Always the bib entries should be final dot (isn't?). 3) For the other hand, I think we need a dot between pages and note in @article. For example in @article{novikov, author = "P. S. Novikov", title = "On the algorithmic unsolvability of the word problem in group theory", journal = "Proceedings of Steklov Mathematical Institute", year = "1955", volume = "44", pages = "1-145", note = "Traducció anglesa a l'American Mathematical Society Translations (2) 9 (1958), 1-122" } we don't have ". Traducció ...." See the dot. 4) Finally, @inbook, I have dot between title and address and year. For example in @book{grillet, author = "Pierre Antoine Grillet", title = "Abstract Algebra", edition = "second", year = "2007", publishers = "Springer", series = "Graduate Texts in Mathematics", address = "New York" } I get P. A. Grillet, {\em Abstract Algebra}. (New York, 2007), second ed. and it should be: P. A. Grillet, {\em Abstract Algebra} (New York, 2007), second ed. Well I hope you note this. Not of all, Xan.

Thank you! The following works fine for me: \defineframed [WhiteOnBlack] [background=color, backgroundcolor=black, foregroundcolor=white] \setuppagenumbering[command=\WhiteOnBlack,location={footer,margin}] Concerning table of contents label, I will play with it latter. Regards, Vyatcheslav

An interesting default for recurselevel in xetex
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

Hi, Guess what happens when you run this with xetex \starttext\recurselevel\stoptext This is a side effect of the definition of \dofastrecurse. After using \dofastrecurse, the default value of recurselevel is \number\fastrecursecounter rather than 0. I don't think that this will have any side effects. Aditya

setuppagenumbering with location=none
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 23 Aug '09

Hi, Strange, but \setuppagenumbering[location=none] moves page numbers to the bottom of the page. I guess this is invalid command altoghether, but nevertheless, it does something unexpected :) Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] Contents label before contents
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

Hello I want to place contents in the beginning of the document with "Contents" label above it. If I do like \placecontent \section{Sec1} \section{Sec2} ... it's ok, but \section{Contents} \placecontent \section{Sec1} \section{Sec2} ... does not work (no content table is placed at all). Could someone please advise me what to do. Regards, Vyatcheslav
